Optical Prisms

Knight Optical supply stock and custom deviation penta prisms that cover the visual and NIR range. Deviation prisms are an optical component that will redirect a light beam into another known angle relative to the incoming beam. The penta-prism is a deviation prism which is used in cameras with a movable mirror that bends the beam vertical onto the focus graticule. The penta-prism provides a 90° deviation of the beam from the focus plane and, via an eyepiece, the user can aim the camera along the same axis as the beam that is focused onto the detector, electronic or wet film. Deviations through other angles can be accomplished using, for example, abbe constant deviation, littrow, and wadsworth prisms. Read PDF for more info

Metallic reflection coatings enhance reflection and are used in many optical instruments for light deflection. We coat glass, metal and plastic. The choice of coating material depends on the reflection requirements in the defined wavelength range. We use aluminium, gold, silver and chromenickel, either with or without protection coating for the VIS, UV and IR ranges.

Differentiation between ANSI and DIN / EN ANSI eyeglass blinds differ from DIN / EN eyeglass blinds in terms of pressure levels, sealing strips and materials. In German-speaking countries, glasses blind disks are also called blind disks or throttle disks. However, the English terms “spectacle blind”, “blind paddle” are also often used in Germany. Pressure ratings according to ANSI in lbs The following pressure levels for blind disks according to ANSI are available 150, 300, 600, 900 and 1500 lbs. Sealing strips The following forms of sealing strips are available: SMF, FF, RF and RTJ. Materials The steel materials A 516 GR 60 and A 516 GR 70 are available. In the stainless steel sector, the materials TP 304 / L, TP 316 / L and TP 312 are possible.
